Pressing ESC in command line produces strange char
...as subject says, in v9.21 when you put cursor inside command line (turned on with "Show command line option") and press ESC it will produce some unreadable char. This is very annoying because I used to press ESC to undo text I entered in command line, now if I'm not careful ESC will create unreadable char before my input and I'll get "File not found! something "The system cannot find file specified".

Re: Pressing ESC in command line produces strange char
Unfortunately this doesn't happen here. I tried with TC 32-bit and 64-bit.
Can you give me more information, please?
- Windows version
- TC 32-bit or 64-bit
- Windows language (e.g. English)
- Windows locale (language for non-Unicode programs)
Thanks!

I guess you run some strange coded Autohotkey macro or similar.

Re: Pressing ESC in command line produces strange char
No, it's probably because of the bugfix for partial Korean character input. The hotkey Ctrl+E doesn't work because of that. I'm currently writing a fix for this. I would like to fix the ESC problem too, but it doesn't occur here - that's why I need more details.

Re: Pressing ESC in command line produces strange char
After reading your reply I tried with default config (deleted wincmd.ini) and problem did not occur. I found out line in wincmd.ini that is causing this behavior:ghisler(Author) wrote: ↑2018-08-17, 10:12 UTC Unfortunately this doesn't happen here. I tried with TC 32-bit and 64-bit.

AutoComplete=0
Now I know from reading help that this option should be 1,2 or 3, not 0...but for some reason I had this on 0 Did not notice this before because on previous version this ESC problem did not occur even if AutoComplete=0 was present in wincmd.ini (0 for AutoComplete is wrong/not existent as it seems). If I had this on 0, TC interpreted this as 3, am I right?
Thanks, regards

Re: Pressing ESC in command line produces strange char
Thanks, I can confirm that it occurs with AutoComplete=0! But it's already fixed with my Ctrl+E bugfix described above.
